Shinobi- Ninjas. The cunning foe capable of powerful
skill known as "Jutsus", trained in the arts of stealth, combat, and
assassination- These beings are the ones that shape our world. For decades these
warriors fought against each, training themselves to exceeds their limits. It is
the allying of groups that lead to the creation of the clans, large families of
those with the blood of accomplished Shinobi running through them. The leaders
of these clans served countries, acting as loyal knights, or costly mercenaries.
Yet this was the forerunner of an even greater Shinobi entity- The Hidden
Villages. Over half a century ago came the rise of the Hidden Villages- Entire
cities of Shinobi, bonding together to form with a nation, acting as partners,
or dictators. Five of these villages power exceeded that of all others- And as
such were deemed the Five Great Shinobi Nations.
It was these among the others who rose to the top, receiving a Shinobi who
would be known amongst all others as a legend- A Kage. Shadow superior then all
others. For good or ill, all who ever obtained the title were great- terrible at
times, foolish or arrogant, kind, wise, or stupid- But all were great ninjas
amongst their people. Neighboring countries, without ninja or feeling that their
own inferior, sought the aide of the Great Villages, their skills giving them
dominance over the other. Yet as with all tyrants who so viciously hold power,
that grasp is eventually broken.
A small yet rigid nation by the name of Amegakure, the village hidden in the
Rain, declared itself to be the Sixth great nation, and demanded acknowledgment
by the world. The village had long been a site between wars, surrounded by other
powerful nations. For years it's status has been weak- Yet under the leadership
of a new leader, Ame had become unusually powerful- many rumors of why and how
had been spread, but few new precisely how it had been accomplished. Upon their
shocking declaration, a host of surrounding lesser nations had given their
support to Rain, leading some to suspect that an alliance between the lesser
nations had been formed in order to resist the great five. While policies to
Rain had never been greatly pleasant, as of late the relations have greatly
worsened. At last, the Lady of Rain had enough of the village's delaying of
their decisions.
Rain had made it's points, causing each individual village to feel the strain
as they are forced to choose whether or not to acknowledge Ame as the sixth
nation, else risk it's unified support against them. Essentially, it was a time
where their choices could decide if the world would be at peace- or war. After a
great deliberation, two nations had sent in their opinions- Kirigakure had
promptly refused, declaring that they would not be bullied or blackmailed into
the support of some washed out bitch's dreams. Kumo, on the otherhand, had
silently declared that they would approve of Rain, hoping to avoid any
aggression. Now, tension slowly rises as they await Iwa's decision, with Suna
and Konoha alone still making a decision. It is a time of harsh reality and cold
deliberation. But even now, forces strive to control this conflict- Those who
wish for money, those who wish for glory, those who with for power-
And of course...
Those who wish for destruction. Ninjas, now, must take a side. They must choose
which path they strive upon, which future they desire. History will tell not of
the loser's sorrows but the winner's dreams. The world crumbles beneath the
Shinobi who walk it. Will you soar to the Heavens? Or fall into the earth. This
is the Shinobi world. This is Naruto.
